Michelle,
In a previous institution that I worked at, all prosepective students needed
to fund their own EP assessment. The University arranged the appointment
but the student funded it. Then, once the student has enrolled and
registered the instutuion refunds the money.
The danger about funding a report for a prospective student is that they may
never come to your institution and therefore money is wasted.
Kind Regards

Subject: Responsibility for educational psychologist report - prospective
student
Dear colleagues
If a student needs an educational psychologist (EP) report, is it that
student's responsibility to pay for it? Or should an institution pay for
it? At the moment, we have the budget to meet the cost. Disability
declarations are rising, though.
A student, with an 09/10 offer, would like the EP report done a.s.a.p. and I
committed to meet this cost (which I will). In a later conversation with a
colleague at another institution, however, the suggestion was that the
student meet the cost of the report.
Any clarity greatly appreciated.
Is there a list of approved educational psychologist that one can refer
students to?
Kind regards
Michelle
